Overview
What It Does
Whatsapp packages a focused communication workflow for an AI agent. Send and receive WhatsApp messages via the unofficial linked-device client pywhats (pip install pywhats) — pair with QR, send text/images, group chat, read receipts, presence/typing, and a long-running JSON event stream. Use when the user wants to script WhatsApp as a linked companion device (like WhatsApp Web), pair a device, send a WhatsApp from Python, or listen for inbound messages. Triggers: 'whatsapp', 'send whatsapp', 'pair whatsapp', 'pywhats', 'linked device', 'whatsapp web client'. NOT the official WhatsApp Business/Cloud API. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
